Spoiling the Kid's

The latest in must-have kitchen upgrades are made for a small—but discerning— clientele.

In her home in Los Angeles, Parachute founder Ariel Kaye has Murano glass floor lamps and Guillerme et Chambron chairs. A Pierre Augustin Rose settee sits in her bedroom. But one of her most prized pieces isn’t available on 1stDibs. It’s an American-made play kitchen from a company called Milton & Goose that retails for $729—not bad for a future heirloom. It’s made of Baltic birch and solid North American maple. It boasts turnable faucet handles and four fake burners. When Kaye moved into her new house, she placed it under a Katherine Bradford painting. Hasbro could never.

Milton & Goose, founded in 2017, is Shari Raymond’s second baby. Raymond’s first, actual child was about to turn one when Raymond decided to look for a play kitchen and found nothing that didn’t require a room in which to hide its tackiness.
